redness around ankle

hi mummies, I have huge red patches on my skin around both my lower leg/ankle area for about 2 weeks. it is not a rash as it doesnt feel itchy... anyone knows what it could be? could it be water retention? I am currently 28 weeks pregnant.

I have that too from 25 weeks. Just the blood and toxins pooling at the bottom of the legs due to poor circulation, it’s normal. It’s an early sign of water retention. Just elevate legs whenever possible and massage upwards.

I think you're right, I tried compression socks last night and the redness slightly subsided! thank you, will try massaging and elevating legs until I check this with my doctor 🙏🏼

To be safe suggest u see a doc… not sure what it is.. dun look like water retention to me

I have the same thing at about week 32
